Voting rights of European nationals at European Parliamentary elections

If you are registered to do so, you can vote at European Parliamentary elections in the UK. European Parliamentary elections are held every five years and the last election was held on 22 May 2014 and the next election will be held in 2019. A list of European Union countries can be found here.

What about my voting rights at home

If you can vote in your home member state, you must choose between voting there or in the UK. Applying to vote in your UK constituency means that you cannot vote in the same parliamentary election in your home member state. The application form that you complete will ask you to declare that, if you vote, it will be in the UK only. You will also be asked to give the name of any locality or constituency in your home member state in which you were registered to vote. Details of your registration in the UK will be sent to your home member state, which may then take steps to prevent you voting there at the same election.

If you wish to vote in your home member state instead of in the UK, then of course you need do nothing beyond what your home member state requires. To register to vote at European Parliamentary elections in the UK, you will need to complete an application form which you can obtain by emailing us at electoralservices@epsom-ewell.gov.uk.

To register to vote at local government elections, you should include your name on the ordinary registration form that will be delivered to your household during the annual canvass. If you move in to the borough outside of canvass time you can either register on-line at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or contact electoral services for a registration form.

Referendums

Referendums are held to ask people to vote on proposals put forward by government. The Electoral Commission has a summary of information on referendums on their website.The European referendum - 23 June 2016
